513 St Andrew St W

Anchored at the top of the hill of St. Andrew Street West, with iconic views of the historic stretch of limestone properties that define Fergus high street, stands this impressive and handsome century home. Its Arts and Crafts inspired architecture showcases brick and cut stone detail, an imposing stone chimney, steel-clad gabled roof and a front entry shielded by a gentle archway to a covered porch. Step inside and be enveloped in warm and eclectic spaces, offering a haven that is a reminder of a bygone era. Enjoy a good book by the wood-burning fireplace in the library, entertain in the generous living/dining room or music room. Retreat to the newer addition, housing the kitchen and in-law suite, complete with family room, gas fireplace, 3-piece bath with oversized walk-in shower and a bedroom (or main floor primary) with an outlook to the garden and pond, framed by an arbour covered in wisteria. Upstairs, the original primary bedroom was vaulted through attic space, creating a stunning retreat with soaker tub and sleeping loft, skylights offering views above and large picture windows bringing in ambient light and elevated views through the trees. Second and third bedrooms are cozy, all sharing a main, 4-piece bath. Serene, professionally landscaped gardens with meandering pathways amid lush perennials and mature trees are anchored by a generous covered porch and Al Fresco dining area. Through the back garden gate is ample parking and street access down a less travelled laneway. Its brimming with character, inside and out. A private heritage property, on an oversized lot, steps to downtown shops, pubs, the Grand River, Elora-Cataract trail and Groves Hospital. Now yours to discover, a once in a lifetime opportunity to call home.
